Fergie Rattled by Liverpool's Plans!

 has been reported in an article by David Prentice of the Echo that Alex Ferguson is rattled by King Kenny's plans to beef up the Liverpool squad. He has bought Phil Jones who has been likened as a new Young John Terry even though he has already got more than enough players in that position of the team. He is also intent on gettingAshley Young Just because King Kenny was eyeing the player to be a Liverpool player. Why would he want Ashley Young in the team when Fergie already has the services of Nani who had given more crosses than any other players last season, the talen ted Antonio Valencia, the under-rated Park Ji Sung and the old workhorse Ryan Giggs?

To explain this phenomenon David Prentice provided the following reason why Fergie has a grudge on King Kenny! The following report has been taken from the Liverpool Echo report for the sake of clarity:

"If you think the United boss wouldn’t be so petty as to snap up players simply because his Scottish rival wanted them, then you won’t remember his discomfiture at Liverpool signing Glenn Hysen back in 1989.

A classy, ball-playing Swedish centre-half, Hysen had toured Old Trafford, enjoyed a buffet lunch, shaken hands on a deal with chairman Martin Edwards then flown back to Italy.

Negotiations mysteriously stalled, and when Ferguson and Edwards flew out to Florence to investigate why, Hysen’s agent told them that his client had already signed for Liverpool.

Ferguson’s fury multiplied when the Swede was named Man of the Match on his debut at Wembley in the FA Charity Shield and became the defensive lynchpin of Liverpool’s last title winning team.

Kenny couldn’t resist having a little nibble in his 1996 autobiography.

“Journalists made a fuss about me nipping in for Glenn Hysen when Fergie was about to sign him. That doesn’t create rancour; that’s business,” he wrote.

“We are both going for the best players. Sometimes managers of PLC clubs like Manchester United cannot spend money quickly.

“They have to get permission from the PLC board. If United’s wheels move slowly, that’s no concern of mine.”

"Ferguson will have committed those words to heart. And he was desperate to ensure that the wheels moved quicker this summer.

That Hysen anecdote came in an entire chapter devoted to Dalglish’s relationship with Ferguson.

In it the Liverpool boss stressed over and over that there is no feud, no animosity, no simmering resentment.

I believe him.

But of course there’s a keen rivalry.

How could there not fail to be between two Glaswegians managing Liverpool and Manchester United?

Kenny Dalglish has always got under Alex Ferguson’s skin – and it promises to make for great viewing next season.

Ferguson thinks he’s finally knocked Liverpool off their perch.

But there’s a manager back in town who’s already got him rattled. This week’s transfer business underlines it."

Well there you have it. Ferguson is intent on spoiling Liverpool's rise next season so much so that he doesn't mind overloading his team with excess players. This in the long run will backfire on him. King Kenny will have the players that he want and please believe it that good times are coming Liverpool's way!
